Abstract: A bed transporting apparatus comprised of a lower telescopic movable frame supported on unidirectional casters. A vertical frame is secured to the lower movable frame and has a vertically displaceable bed supporting frame guidingly secured thereto. An hydraulic piston displaces the bed supporting frame in a vertical plane. The piston is operated by a hydraulic oil pumping lever and a valve controls the operation of the piston. The bed supporting displaceable frame has lower bed support arms to supportingly engage a side member of a bed and is further provided with an upper retractable guided connecting strap which is engageable with an opposed side member of the bed. The strap is wound about a drum which, when actuated, causes the bed to tilt along its side against the bed supporting frame and be held secured thereagainst. An extendible section of the lower telescopic frame is retracted to provide for the passage of the transporting apparatus and the bed held thereon through door openings.
